This class is going to take the program to the next level. Add in Moemeka (a Derek Cooke with more skill) and this class is all we could hope for....speed and size.

:lol: The future is bright. I think we'll be able to replace reasonably well all our production except Larry. That's a huge hole, so I think that equates to a top-half-of-the-conference finish. I think Morris Marshall can be very Luke Matinez-esque. That should help ease the loss of so many upper classmen
 
Just remember, these are only nominations. At this point, I guess I'd be surprised if any of them are actually selected for the game.
 
We still need more bigs I think. The scariest part is all these dudes are gonna have to come in here ready to play Mountain West level hoops. It's a high caliber conference. The paint is for men not boys in this conference.

Next year we'll have:

Herndon - 6'9" or 6'10"
Barnes - 6'10"
Naughton - 6'9"
Moemeka - 6'8"

and

James - 6'7" shooting guard

None of these guys will be upperclassmen next year.

Just being nominated suggest they are good players.....regardless of if they make the final cut or not.

Are you really that dumb? "Just nominations?" What a great accomplishment for future Pokes. Dam.

We have nominees for the All American game and still cynical?

Well...ahhh....uhhh...... We had a Heisman nominee, but....uhhhhh........errrrrrrrrrr...........he didn't win, so, yeah....he must not be THAT good. :tickedoff:

Looking ahead, what do people think the starting 5 and rotation will be next year?

So hard to say. These new guys can come in and make a huge impact early. Adams is the only sure thing. Maybe Herndon. Outside of that, I truly think it is up for grabs.
 
Well I think we have the right to believe next year is gonna be a rebuilding one most likely. The year after that we should be back in the top 5. Then after that top 3 again. If we reload properly throughout then we stay top 3 until Shyatt is done. Mission will be accomplished though as he hands over the keys to the next guy with a rebuilt powerhouse Wyoming! :rockon:

No doubt...next year is a rebuilding year. But even in a rebuilding year, the tools are there for a top half finish and a chance to compete. One thing is for sure.....we will look the part more than this year.
 
Based on some of the things I have read I think Trey Washington will start along with Adams in the back court. Then you will have Herndon, Mac and one other big guy. Not sure which one yet.

They will probably end up red shirting one or two guys next year. Not sure which ones though unless Shyatt plans on using everyone.
